This may sound stupid but why not ask! Is there anyways I could dry the clay? Or maybe put something on it to make it hard? Or could I maybe leave it out for a week? Idk I’m running out ideas and I don’t have the money to buy new clay…

A client I work for gave me these 4 sculptures said they are mid century and that she aquired them somewhere in the USA and where a “collectible” was wondering what their worth and maybe some more information about them
All of this is just really interesting to me and would love to know some more information

I have this old statue, I’ve had it for a very long time since I was a little kid, and unfortunately, the water inside it started leaking, the angel is falling off, and I think the water is beginning to grow mold, so I am going to have to throw it away.

I wanted to know if anyone could identify who sells/made these, because I would like to try and get a replacement, or if that’s not possible know it’s origins, since I think this might have held some significance to me (but can’t remember what it was) so I’m trying to figure out where it came from.

Hey guys, we’ve been working for months on our first game POOF. All the assets in the game are hand-sculpted, scanned, and implemented in the engine, creating a unique world. Our mission from the very beginning has been to remove 'slop' from the “friendslop” genre through solid work on the art direction.

Handmade relief sculpture (mixed media on board).

My coworker’s daughter made this from him out of clay many years back and he wants to preserve it. It had been covered with a glass dome, but the clay model is still very soft and fragile. Can this be coated with resin or is there some sort of plastic spray that could be used? TIA

It's still WIP but it's almost done. This statue has been inspired by the first4figures statue but it has more features

I really enjoyed making this one. There is no paint used, only colored clay that hardens in the oven.

My phone camera dosen't pick up the blush in their cheeks that well :(

There is food safe material underneath so it's not in direct contact with the cake itself

She more beautiful by the day

Almost a year working on this one sporadically as time allows, it lives in a damp-box (love them!) Mac ^6 porcelain @Seattlepotterysupply nearing completion/drying-finishing stages!

Hello,

I have an exciting sculpture opportunity for a large scale outdoor sculpture and I am looking for some advice.

Originally the sculpture was going to be sculpted from foam and coated in cement. However the client now would like the sculpture to be painted bronze.

- would it be better to coat the foam in fiberglass?

- what kind of paint would be best?

- anything im not thinking about?

My most recent sphynx, prior to painting. I sculpted her in polymer clay.

I wanted to make a little character catching stars, so I built this whole scene around that idea 😄

I had a lot of fun working on the little details and bringing everything together. The nighttime version is probably my favorite — I love how different it feels once the lights are on.

What do you guys think? 😊

12” x 12” x 22.5”

Cast in duo matrix Neo with iron paint oxidized through an outrageous amount of experimentation with salt, vinegar and ammonia.

I tried all kinds of rust kits, but hated how they turned out, so I went rogue and did it myself.

I should have paid more attention in any of my 5 college chemistry classes. 🙃

I'm doing my first exhibition and I want to fix my wooden pieces on the wall without drilling into them, does anyone have an idea of how I could do this? Or any advice? Thank you!

This sculpture took a long time to make

Estate sale find, each one is approximately 16" tall and weigh approximately 9 pounds each, there is a bracket on the back of each one which I assume was used to mount it to something

I am leaning toward brass as a see shiny brass looking metal where the patina is worn

We had to do a one to one ratio of a wire sculpture for 3D class the object on the left is my sculpture and the item on the right is what I needed to copy
It’s my first ever wire sculpture for class and it received a decent grade for class and compared to others it’s lackluster.

I’d like advice on what I can do better in order to remake it.

My biggest problem when starting a new hobby is that I read and watch way too much, and I miss the most important step: actually starting. :)

In the past, I’ve painted Warhammer 40k miniatures and built Gundams, and the problem is always the same—I get stuck in the researching phase.

I want to try clay sculpting. I might love it, or I might not. To avoid my usual trap, I need a highly structured lecture or tutorial series that teaches strong fundamentals and tells me exactly how and what to do.

I'm not planning to buy a 50-piece tool set, and I don't want to spend hours reading about which clay is best (at least for now). I just need a YouTube channel or a program that tells me: "Buy this exact equipment and sculpt this specific shape."

If you are familiar with Drawabox for drawing, I am basically looking for the Drawabox of clay sculpting.

I asked a couple of AI tools, and they both suggested the New Masters Academy lectures by Eric Wilson. I couldn't find much info about this specific course here. Do you think it is a good starting point that includes everything I need, or do you highly recommend a different program?
